Documented climate envelope

Variable	Observed range	Central range
Annual mean temperature	-2.57 – 28.39	0.73 – 28.25
Temperature of the warmest month	12.45 – 40.85	18.63 – 39.89
Temperature of the coldest month	-22.23 – 25.17	-19.89 – 24.51

Precipitation seasonality	24.02 – 140.54	24.98 – 128.36

These values describe the documented climate envelope of the taxon. They are not, by themselves, a local recommendation.

Documented soil preferences

Variable	Unit	Observed range	Central range
Cation exchange capacity (CEC)	cmol(+)/kg	11.03 – 20.73	13.05 – 14.43
Clay	%	22.57 – 36.95	26.52 – 30.02
Coarse fragments	%	2.3 – 10.75	2.5 – 5.28
Total nitrogen	g/kg	1.05 – 4.29	1.37 – 1.75
pH	—	4.7 – 5.88	4.8 – 5.12
Sand	%	26.48 – 65.03	31.75 – 40.1
